An artist's rendition of a young star with a planetary
companion, which astronomers have detected one using a small instrument
called ET, short for Exoplanet Tracker. The new planet is located
about 100 light-years away in the constellation Virgo. The telescope
turbo-charger ET has found its first planet outside the solar system,
and something that looks like a suitcase in space is tracking possible
faraway Earths, astronomers reported on January 11, 2006. [Reuters]
